Field trips out

For the last 3 years, HEC Liège and AWEX, the Walloon Agency for Export and Investment, have been running a joint project called Young Business Actors (YBA), previously called Explort-Buss.

YBA is intended for HEC Liège students and aims to create synergies with Walloon export companies and other international business players in Wallonia: AWEX Economic and Commercial Attachés, other Walloon companies operating internationally, etc. It offers a range of activities linked to the international training of HEC Liège students, such as events, workshops, Field Trips and networking tools and activities.

This project follows similar lines to EXPLORT, the AWEX foreign trade training and internship program, which is a key part of the agency’s mission: that of raising the international visibility and appeal of Wallonia, strengthening the professionalism of companies in the export sector, and contributing to the annual growth of Walloon exports.
